If you’ve read the article and looked at the Top-And-Bottom technique, you’ll see what they are doing here using the existing method of displaying two images on top of each other. 3D Top And Bottom (Over And Under) The problem is however that this was designed for 3D movies, where the viewer actually sees both pictures at once to generate a 3D feeling. For this one lens of the 3D glasses allows you to only see the first image (1L), and the other lens allows you to see only the second image (1R).

By modifying the glasses we can make it that one player sees only one image, and the other player the other image. The modification is simple, and we need two different pairs of glasses.
